The transfer business overall over the last 4 years has been piss poor.  That fact that so many of Bruce's, Dean's and Gerrard's signing make the majority of the first team selection is very telling.

Given how sparingly Abraham has been used, the decision to ship out Malen looks to have been a serious error.

The UEFA punishment isn't going to make it any easier this summer either.

Guessing getting rid of Malan and bringing in Tammy was a positive move financially.

I'm not sure how Malen's story has been twisted into us "deciding to ship him out".  Unai was happy with him, and wanted him to stay, but Malen wasn't happy with his lack of pitch time and wanted to play more to cement his World Cup place (which I completely understand).  We acquiesced and agreed to let him go.

If it were up to us only, and Malen hadn't asked for a move, I have no doubt Malen is still a Villa player today.

Don't we need to have a net positive transfer balance?
